[QUOTE="pemerton, post: 9331208, member: 42582"] That's quite a hobby! Right. So, here's some of Aedhros's PC sheet: [indent]Lifepaths (4)= Born Etharch, Spouse, Griever, Deceiver Backstory = after my spouse was slain, I could not confront the truth of the world and retreated into bitter inwardness Relationships: Hateful relationship with my father-in-law, Thurandril, the Elven ambassador at the port (blame him for spouse's death) Circles: Etharchs, Wilderlands, Spite Reputations & Affiliations: +1D rep ill-fated for himself and others +1D infamous rep among the Elves, as a servant of the Blood Lord [this one wasn't chosen by me, but was "earned" when Thurandril saw Aedhros brutally killing a NPC] +1D aff with the Elven Etharchs Character Traits: Born Under the Silver Stars Dark and Imposing Self-deluded Beliefs: I will avenge the death of my spouse! Thurandril will admit that I am right! I will free Alicia and myself from the curse of Thoth! Instincts: Never use Song of Soothing unless compelled to Always repay hurt with hurt When my mind is elsewhere, quietly sing the elven lays[/indent] So what I'm looking for in play is situations, and consequences, that speak to this character and these concerns and motivations. To put it in a nutshell, there should be opportunities to use the Song of Soothing, where doing so will mean admitting that Thurandril is right! Or maybe the only way to avenge the death of my spouse is to completely subordinate myself to Thoth! The colour of play should be Elven Etharchs who spurn the Dark Elf; ill-fated fellows with whom Aedhros consorts; and moments of quietly singing the Elven Lays, perhaps even having a passing Elf notice and take pity despite Aedrhos's ill-fated nature. This character is not an "adventurer". He doesn't undertake quests. He hangs about the port, among the ill-favoured, overlooked by Thurandril, alternately wallowing in bitterness or doing some good for someone despite his best intentions. [/QUOTE]
